Description
The next owner of this watch is guaranteed one thing above all: a big smile that will last for a long time when they open the box and see this watch in the metal. This one has to be seen to be fully appreciated - even the high definition pictures below can't capture the full magic of this watch. Vintage Submariners are truly beautiful watches.

Original case is stainless steel and in great condition with fat lugs and sharp case edges. Dimensions are 40mm diameter by 15mm thick. High sitting acrylic crystal with cyclops. Original bezel. Crown screws down and operates perfectly. Case number is: 3305XXX and inside caseback shows fourth quarter 1972 production.

Original dial is exquisite. The patina on the hour markers and original hands match to nice effect. Dial is all original and very clean.

Original movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1570 with 26 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 5 positions. This movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. As I have said many times before, in my opinion the Rolex 15XX calibers are the best-ever serial production automatic calibers from any manufacture. This movement is extremely clean and running great.

Even the bracelet on this watch is the original reference 9315 with reference 380 end pieces. This Oyster bracelet will comfortably fit an 8 inch wrist.
